gnocchi - ok for babies?

[dizzymeg]

can you give babies pre made gnocchi from the shops? going to have it for our dinner and suddenly wondered if I can just give baby some of that? if not will make him some pasta and give him the same homemade sauce we will do for gnocchi

It's fine, providing you've checked the salt content?

I gave it to Omar & he liked it with mashroom sauce. I chose a brand with very little salt.

Yes babies 6m+ can pretty much have what you eat, as long as you check the salt etc

oh ok- what brand did you decide was low on salt? I didnt give him any yesterday as I was scared he might choke on it! will try next time we have some,just gave him someof the vaggie sauce with his potatoe wedges,so messy!!

Hmm, I can't quite picture what size they are but actually, maybe they would be a choking hazard. Maybe cut them in half if they are choking hazard size.

I use Carfour own brand (not so helpful) & I avoid the ones with cheese in it as it has salt. I cut it into small pieces as I spoon feed Omar.

It's size is similar to a medium size Shell pasta, but I cant eat a whole piece without cutting it to half as it's a bit chewy for me, & I dont think a toddler/baby can manage a whole piece without cutting it. xx
